We don't all agree

And some Japanese ladies to play you out



And if you were expecting some connection to George Formby then I am sorry I let you down with Fred Halibut and his cheapened down take on the great man.

Pre Shave - Wahl Beard Trimmers

Soap - Palmolive Menthol
Razor - Yaqi DOC
Blade - Indian Gillette 7 Green
Number of Passes - 5
Post - Witch Hazel
Splash - Benjamins Bay Rum Mentholated

First full face in 6 weeks, maybe more? I'd grown a pretty sizeable beard but this 30 degree heat was too much to take and it needed to come off. Grade 1 with the beard trimmers wasn't close enough and it took 5 passes to get rid of the growth around my chin.

I quite enjoyed having a beard at times, but having 6 weeks of growth is like wearing a balaclava you can't take off in a heatwave.

Have a good day gents.
 


Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Rooney 1/3 Super Silvertip Badger
Soap: Cold River Soap Works Glide Barbiere Sapone
Razor: Wolfman WR1
Blade: Vintage NOS English Wilkie (3)
Post: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel; Bootleggers El Dorado Aftershave Splash
Scent: GFT Spanish Leather EdC

Gosh this is wonderful shaving soap. Absolutely superlative slickness and residual slickness.
 
Good evening everyone.

Tonight's attempt at a cooling shave after another hot day today.

Pre- Warm shower, Mr Rugged Fave soap
Soap- TGS Lemon and Mint
Razor- Rockwell 6S (R2)
Blade- Gillette Rubie (1)
Brush- ExS Medium Jock Synth
Post- Osma Alum Block, Barts Grapefruit and Pink Pepper Balm
Splash- TGS Lemon and Mint

After a last rough shave with the R4 plate I went down to the R2 and paired it with a new Gillette Rubie blade. All in all I was pleased with everything tonight, very little irritation after a rub down with the Alum Block and after applying both balm and splash, a face feeling cool and soft.

Stay safe and cool.
